For this Wexcast, we’re excited to share a micro-essay you won’t find anywhere else, read by its author, MacArthur Genius grant recipient and Columbus native Hanif Abdurraqib. Invited by Wex Film/Video curators to introduce a screening of Michael Schultz’s classic comedy Car Wash, Abdurraqib wove stories from his neighborhood, the making of the film and its score, the performance politics of Soul Train, and the pleasure of adding a soundtrack to a cleaning task into an electrifying seven minute monologue.
